The Battle of Los Angeles, also known as The Great Los Angeles Air Raid,
is the name given to a incident that occurred less than three months
after the United States entered World War II as a result of the Japanese
Imperial Navy¢s attack on Pearl Harbor. At that time Many un identified
flying objects entered the skies over Los Angeles California. These UFOS
were seen by millions. These UFOS became the target of the aerial
barrage as they were thought to be an attacking force from Japan.

What else were they to think ?

The alert was eventually traced to unexpected radar returns from seagulls
over a garbage barge about 50 - 60 miles off shore. See "Ducting":

Ducting is pretty neat sometimes, like catching 2m ham traffic originating in
Hawaii from the SF Bay area.

Also didn,t help that the Japanese submarine I-17 shelled the oil field
just north of Santa Barbara 36 hours or so earlier with her deck gun.

Nothing you do is useful. You very rarely even come up with a good idea,
and when the blind squirrel principal does kick in (astoundingly,
you've seem to even defeat random chance with your incompetence), you
manage to cock it up so badly that what might have been a useful thing
in a normal person's hands turns to low-grade fertilizer.

Those are your two claims to fame. Being a complete flake who can't
keep even the simplest of things on track for any significant period of
time, and being an absolute moron when it comes to understanding what's
useful to the piloting community, and implementing it.

Not to killfile.

*PLONK*

It sounds like a self description of "Tom." Did his psychiatrist tell
him all this?

I am putting out a lot of effort here. Why didn't anyone kick the
troll's ass after I did? C'mon guys, I need your backup here. I'm
sucking a drained tit.

When I first saw (not read) this I thought you had typed "breasts". If
they were, it would probably have been easier then to get men to look
into the camera (as they most likely already were) and say
"Cheese" (or something else). ;-)

They already had their costar and all the wannabe actresses in the costume
and makeup crews showing off their stuff.
